Secure Java: For Web Application Development by Abhay Bhargav of we45 Solutions and Dr. B.V. Kumar of Altius Inc., reflects the importance of security in a world where Web applications are rendered vulnerable due to a continuous onslaught of attacks. They give solid evidence as to why Web applications must be both secure and securely deployed, and how Web applications, developed and deployed using the Java platform, can be optimally secured. The book also offers sound insight into the security aspects of application development process, with focused attention to crucial topics such as authentication, access control, cryptography, logging, and secure coding practices using the Java platform.

Given that Java is the platform of choice for enterprise application development the world over, this book fills a much-needed gap by thoroughly and clearly outlining the security requirements of such a critical platform. I strongly believe that this work will prove invaluable to a wide audience, including Java developers, architects, and students.
